after……

This word is very strange, because everyone seems to be chasing this "future", and they have been asking each other "what do you want to do in the future" since childhood.

It's just that for anyone, time is moving forward fairly, just like the current self, who will never catch up with the "later" that he dreams of at this time.

"Xiao Mu is... thinking about college?"

"Yes, and no. I just feel like I still can't let it go."

After buying some light cream and coconut milk, Mu Xi compared the shelf life and the ingredient list, but there was a bit more self-deprecating in his voice: "I feel like I might make something for Ms. Mu Zhao... My mother is very angry."

"So Xiaomu has already figured out what to do?"

"Well, would it be rebellious to go against mother's ideas?"

Is it rebellion to go against your parents' ideas?

Looking sideways at the girl in front of him, Lonely Claw always felt that Mu Xi was actually a little strange——

The first time they met was at Heiwei Tielang's home. The two of them were obviously flustered, but after that they became amazing friends.

From games to comics and animations, I thought they were just home friends, but now they can easily chat about the future with each other.

"Xiaomu, what do you want to do?"

"I can tell you, but you are not allowed to tell Senior Black Tail."

Hearing the familiar name of the bamboo horse, Lone Claw grinds his face a little more delicately, and his eyes unconsciously glance to the side.

All he knew was that someone was grabbing the shelf next door right now, probably with enough force to tear the shelf open.

"good……"

He didn't say it, but it didn't mean Xiao Hei couldn't hear it.

"Probably"

The girl leaned close to her bamboo horse's ear and whispered to him, through the gap between the goods, she could vaguely see Gu Claw's stunned expression, and Heiwei Tielang only felt that there were a thousand tits tickling him in his heart.

What, what did the two of them say!

"Wouldn't that be nice?"

"But there will probably be a fight...well, there will be a fight."

Seeing that Lone Claw Momo didn't understand the meaning of what he said, Mu Xi wasn't angry either, he said goodbye to him after choosing what he wanted, and was a little lost in thought on the way home.

"you……"

"I seem to understand now, no matter how many times before, I have never made this choice?"

Mu Xi smiled, and after changing hands with the bag, he walked more and more relaxedly: "But this is also very good."

The silence of the system has already told her everything. The weather in mid-November is gradually getting colder. Before the third semester is about to start, the school has also issued an intention to classify subjects for all senior one students.refer to.

"Wow, sub-subjects. Xiaomu, how are you going to choose?"

"I will choose science."

Hearing Xiaoliu Huazi's question, Mu Xi replied without any hesitation: "What about you, Xiaoliu?"

"That's the problem... I feel that I can do both liberal arts and science, and I'm not weak."

After muttering something, Xiaoliu Hanako came to her senses, and smiled at the calm friend in front of her eyes: "So, Xiaomu, you have something you want to do that's why you chose science? What is it?"

"Don't talk about it, if I want to choose science, I have to pass the most important test at home."

Showing a wry smile at her, Mu Xi took the lead in calling his grandfather, Professor Xu, and chatted about the general situation so that the elders in the family could have a better understanding.In front of Ms. Zhao: "I want to choose science."

"What do you want to do? Which university?"

The calm expressions on the faces of the mother and the daughter became very similar at this time. Mu Xi stared at her and took a deep breath, and his voice became softer: "I'm going to Waseda, sports medicine."

"I don't understand, don't understand, and don't agree."

Speaking of crossing her hands on the table, Ms. Mu Zhao waited for a few seconds to speak again, speaking much faster than before: "I know why you want to learn this, but from my point of view, you are completelyThere is no need to gamble on the future because of the past, and there is no need to put yourself in that "if" forever."

What Mu Xi wants to learn is easy to explain, but in Ms. Mu Zhao's opinion, if she is betting on her future life in order to "save people who used to be like me", then it is really unnecessary: "Xixi, don't trap yourself in the past."

"On the contrary, Ms. Mu Zhao, I have never been a stupid person, I just suffer from lack of courage to turn around."

Hearing Mu Zhao's objection, Mu Xi smiled and looked at his mother's gentle eyes: "I want to face it, not escape. I didn't choose sports medicine to give myself an if, but I am better than anyone else.", all understand that if this happens, the things born will be no less than a miracle."

"The reason why a miracle is a miracle is because the probability is too small. And Mu Xi, you can basically spend your whole life—"

"For a lifetime, why not?"

why not...

Occasionally, she also feels that she has returned to her youth, and most of her courage and drive have been obliterated by her social work.

There is nothing wrong with being the same as before or returning to China. It is never a wrong choice to walk the path you have traveled and want to be stable.But when he made up his mind, Mu Xi realized that he didn't really think so in his heart.

She has known so many people and experienced so many things that she would not have experienced before, so she naturally has the desire to achieve it with her own hands.

"I'll go out for a while, think about it."

"What do you mean I should think about it!"

"Then let us both think about it."

Turning her head and smiling at her own mother, she changed her shoes and walked to the swing stand in the small park to sit down and shake around. Not long after, she saw someone who seemed to have expected it a long time ago, slowly leading a certain animal.The reluctant little black cat appeared in front of her.

"How do you know I'm here again?"

"Oh, how should I say it?"

After shaking around five or six times, Heiwei Tielang hugged the little black cat who had been slipped to the ground, and sat casually on the swing next to Mu Xi: "Because I know everything..”

"Liar..."

"Well, let's just pretend that I know everything about you, huh?"

With that kind of coquettish tone again, Mu Xi turned his head as if he couldn't stand it, and suddenly laughed with his mouth pursed: "I like Senior Heiwei very much."

"Huh? What do you like?"

Hearing his embarrassing reaction, Mu Xi snorted softly, if it wasn't for the reason just now, she wouldn't have said that.

However, the black-tailed Tielang immediately stood up from the swing next to him as if he had caught a loophole, tied the leash with his wrist, let go of the cursing little black cat, and forced her to stop with Mu Xi's swing rope.down.

Noticing her apparent bewilderment, the black-haired boy blinked, and the pronunciation of each word was slightly protracted: "Again, I didn't seem to hear it just now?"

"Then pretend you didn't hear anything."

"Well, since this is the case, Xiaomu, are you ready?"

Prepare?What are you ready for?

Looking up at those smiling eyes, Mu Xi was stunned when he found that he was slowly approaching her.

The boy's distance from him has completely exceeded the normal social distance. Although his hands holding the swing rope did not touch him, they could almost be regarded as framing himself in his arms.

"Mu Xiaoxi..."

It took about two or three seconds for Mu Xi to react after hearing his name, but his eyes also began to dodge: "What?"

"I don't know what kind of person I will become in the future."

But he also has things he can be sure of.

"Mu Xiaoxi, you don't have to worry about your future."

"Why don't you worry?"

"because……"

Heiwei Tielang stared at the girl in front of him who was finally willing to raise her head, slowly let go of one hand holding the swing rope, and gently smoothed the strand of hair that fell from her ponytail behind her ear: "Because, that's all you."

Those are all choices you make, all are your own decisions, and all are your own directions.

There is nothing wrong with moving towards what you want, and the last she, no matter what, is the Mu Xi he likes.

The boy's hand refrained from touching her, but the heat stayed on the skin for a short time.

Looking up and seeing his completely red ears, Mu Xi glanced at Heiwei Tielang's hand holding the swing rope, and suddenly moved his hand up a little, touching him as if by accident.

"Senior Black Tail."

"Um……"

Seeing him nervous, Mu Xi suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and then tilted his head innocently: "Can you let me stand up?"

"Can"

"But you don't back down."

Seeing Heiwei Tielang subconsciously retreating, Mu Xi let go of the swing rope, took a step forward in the direction of his retreat, and gently rested his forehead on his shoulder.

While he was still stiff in place and didn't react, Mu Xi wrapped his hands around him, feeling the temperature on the young man's body, and rubbed his forehead lightly: "Just for a while."

The little black cat meowing at the feet of the two seemed to feel the atmosphere, and suddenly became quiet. Heiwei Tielang looked down at the girl who suddenly hugged him, as if he just realized what happened.Tentatively, he also put his arms around her waist.

The feeling of being hugged is wonderful, and it also gives people a soft warmth in this autumn.

Feeling that he stretched out his hand cautiously but didn't dare to really hug her, Mu Xi lowered his head and chuckled softly: "Isn't it strange?"

"Huh? Not at all."

The vibration of the chest cavity and the sound coming into the ears at close range made people feel a little uncomfortable. Heiwei Tielang coughed lightly when he realized that Mu Xi was more active than himself, and then subconsciously tightened his arms: "It's just that I really didn't expect that.Xiaomu will be so proactive."

"So I shouldn't do it?"

"No."

It's better to say that the more the merrier.

Slightly loosening the hug, Heiwei Tielang bent down, and finally let his hand gently cover her face: "I'm very happy."

"What are you happy about?"

"I am honored to be your strength."

Seeing the little self in those deep black eyes, Heiwei Tielang slowly withdrew his hand, picked up the well-behaved little black cat beside him in his arms, turned his head and threw a wink at her with a smile: "MyThe arms are always open for you."

"Then I won't bother you all the time."

"Eh?"

"This kind of thing has to go both ways, right?"

It's tiring to just have one person giving all the time, and—

"You can tell me if you have anything. After all... You see, I was the only one who told you about my unhappiness at the beginning. I think it's a bit unfair."

So, if you have any unhappy things, you can also tell me.

Not daring to look at Heiwei Tielang's expression, Mu Xi quickly stepped back to the door of the house, took a deep breath, took out the key and opened the door.

She was never out to make up for the past, or to save herself.

She's just doing what she wants to do.
